LWP with 'Object moved' redirect feedback

I'm attempting to authenticate to a website via LWP, and it's working, but some redirects are stalling the script process.  After successfully logging in with the code below, I get the feedback:
 
   <head><title>Object moved</title></head>
   <body><h1>Object Moved</h1>This object may be found <a HREF="options.asp">here</a>.</body>

Options.asp is indeed my destination page, and where I would end up with a regular browser, but I've no idea how to get their in LWP.  If I post to options.asp instead, I get the opposite, telling me the object maybe be found at logon.asp
